Wednesday Reads and Decisions, Decisions

I’m currently in the process of deciding the cover to Ghostly Interlude. Apparently I can’t
decide. Ugh. But hey, I’m getting farther along in my editing. Let’s see if I
can get that book to my editor by next week, shall we?

Here’s what I read the past week:

Book #41

Dates read: June 24-28Title: “Deadly Silence”Year of publication: 2016Author: Rebecca ZanettiGenre: Romantic suspenseSeries: Blood Brothers #1# of Pages: 362Paper or plastic: Trade paperbackHow obtained: PurchasedBlurb from book:Under siege. That’s how Ryker Jones feels. The
Lost Bastards Investigative Agency he opened up with his blood brothers has
lost a client in a brutal way. The past he can’t outrun is resurfacing,
threatening to drag him down in the undertow. And the beautiful woman he’s been
trying to keep at arm’s length is in danger…and he’ll destroy anything and
anyone to keep her safe.Paralegal Zara Remington is in over
her head. She’s making risky moves at work by day and indulging in an affair
with a darkly dangerous PI by night. There’s a lot Ryker isn’t telling her and
the more she uncovers, the less she wants to know. But when all hell breaks
loose, Ryker may be the only one to save her. If his past doesn’t catch up to
them first… My thoughts: I didn’t
realize until I bought this book that this series is a spin off of her Sin
Brothers series, which I loved very, very much. Seems I love this series, too.
Lots of suspense! Lots of romance! Lots of sexy scenes!! Unfortunately, I have
to wait to read them all, since they’re not all released yet. Now I don’t mind
that she writes fast, so maybe I won’t have to wait that long. This series has
a little bit of a paranormal bent—genetically engineered people—but not too
much (or weird) if paranormal’s not your thing. If romantic suspense is, then
you gotta give this book a try. And then if you haven’t read the Sin Brothers
series yet, I bet you’ll want to after (or do it now, that 4-book series is out).

So… The CW is
remaking Dynasty? Ugh. I couldn’t stand it the first time around. How about
you? Does it seem like there are more TV remakes than ever? Or have there
always been remakes and I just didn’t notice?

Television as a medium is only, what, 65, 70 years old. Today's network executives probably remember watching Dallas, Dynasty, and whatever else is slated for a reboot now when they were kids, and are backing these nostalgia projects, much the way we had a bunch of films like The Jetsons, The Flintstones, and The Addams Family back in the nineties. Just think, in about another fifteen years or so, we'll be due for film version of Third Rock From the Sun and Big Bang Theory!

About Me

After years of wondering if I would ever have a passion in life (besides loving my husband), I finally found it. Writing!
Maybe I should have realized it back in High School when I loved all my English classes. So what do I major in College? Accounting. Go figure. Well, I've shucked the accounting job and now I'm published through Lyrical Press, an imprint of Kensington Publishing. Couldn't be happier.
